[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DC is considered “underemployed” in law enforcement because the position doesn’t require a degree to start. Five years after earning their B.S. they earn a $102k salary and $40k+ in overtime. They get a raise every year, and sometimes two raises.

That’s better than earnings of Chemical Engineering majors at 35-45 year olds, the #1 major, BTW. Our child could retire with a full pension at 46. LOL.

Our child will make sergeant soon. That comes with a nice raise. By 35 they’ll be a lieutenant. That’s a big salary bump. That’s when 1.5x overtime rates really start to pay out.[/quote]

Ridiculous. Jobs with pensions are great...but how many extra hours is your son working to make an additional $40k? He gets zero pension until he serves 20 years. Unless he's one of those cops who fakes the overtime, he has to be working a shit ton to make another 40k.
